The fitness Of "things," women know
the limita ionssof that word, is by no
means coLfined to hair dressing and any
BisspplcstIon in modes of dress Is quite

the hair. Tailor-made costumes furnish
sgood example; omine ntly seTvICesble
are they, but not alike becoming TO all.
These nave their uses, but it is not neces-

ments, coat like bodice, waistcost shirt

plain snd cut on the bias, SO as to form
naturally the required elevation st the
